Why would I need the MMR Test With Immunity Profile?
This test is recommended for several reasons: Immunity verification: To confirm if you have immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella, especially if you work in healthcare, education, childcare, or other settings where proof of immunity is required. Pre-vaccination screening: To determine if you need an MMR vaccine or booster, particularly if you do not have a record of your vaccination history. Travel: To ensure you are protected when traveling to regions where these viruses are still prevalent. Pregnancy planning: To confirm immunity before pregnancy, as rubella infection during pregnancy can cause severe complications for the fetus. Outbreak response: To determine immunity during an outbreak of measles, mumps, or rubella.
What do the results of the MMR Test With Immunity Profile indicate?
Positive result (immune): Indicates that you have antibodies against measles, mumps, and rubella, suggesting immunity from past infection or vaccination. Negative result (non-immune): This indicates that no antibodies were detected, suggesting that you do not have immunity to the specific virus. In this case, your healthcare provider may recommend receiving the MMR vaccine to gain immunity.
